Error in getting MAC Address : Not supported platform

When I run ipmitool  -I lanplus -H <ip> -U <user>-P <pass>delloem mac

I am getting Error in getting MAC Address : Not supported platform.

When I run rest of the delloem commands, I am getting valid response.

I have Dell R 760 and 750 servers.

How do I resolve this?

Hello,

 

You can also use RACADM to learn MAC address please check here getsysinfo

(As I can see you also post here   https://dell.to/4hMEPgA)

I understand that. But my requirement it to get the port numbers, link status and mac address which "ipmitool delloem mac" command was returning things like below.

1)  sudo ipmitool delloem mac list

System LOMs
NIC Number      MAC Address             Status

0               MA:CA:DD:RE:SS       Enabled
1               MA:CA:DD:RE:SS       Enabled

Now all I get is "Error in getting MAC Address : Not supported platform"



2) Please check the image I shared. I need to get port number, status and MAC of all the available NICs.
Please help with that, Thank you

I found one racadm command,
racadm nicstatistics; which returns below items

racadm>>nicstatistics
NIC.Integrated.1-1-1:Broadcom Adv. Dual 25Gb Ethernet - MA:CA:DD:RE:SS
PartitionCapable :                            Disabled

NIC.Integrated.1-2-1:Broadcom Adv. Dual 25Gb Ethernet - MA:CA:DD:RE:SS
PartitionCapable :                            Disabled

NIC.Embedded.1-1-1:Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
PartitionCapable :                            Not Capable

NIC.Embedded.2-1-1:Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
PartitionCapable :                            Not Capable


I see the naming NIC.Integrated.1-1-1, 1-2-1 etc., 
Can you please explain the 1-1-1. Is there a port number in it?

Hi,

 

Can you provide us the iDRAC firmware version that you are currently on, this would give us an idea why you are having the error. 

 

Here's a brief explanation of the naming:

 

NIC.Integrated.1-1-1 and NIC.Integrated.1-2-1 :

  • These refer to a Broadcom Adv. Dual 25Gb Ethernet
  • NIC.Integrated.1-1-1 refers as Port 1
  • NIC.Integrated.1-2-1 refers as Port 2

NIC.Embedded.1-1-1 and NIC.Embedded.2-1-1 :

  • These refer to Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
  • NIC.Embedded.1-1-1 refers as Port 1
  • NIC.Embedded.2-1-1 refers as Port 2
